  • You said it yourself: you had spent a lot of time learning the patterns, but had grown frustrated by that time. Basically you’d have two choices

    • what you did, and finish the fight easily using summons (which is easy only because you already spent a lot of time learning the boss)
    • decide to do it without summon, and maybe have the satisfaction to win without help, or submit yourself to too much frustration, rendering the victory meaningless because at the end it had become a chore, and not fun at all.

    At the end of the day, the most important element is to have fun. But even with summons, victory is never underserved, those games are still brutal.



  • It seemed to have been a bet that the left would be completely divided so that he could place his party as the defender against the far right in order to get an absolute majority (he only had a relative majority until now)

    That didn’t work because the left parties managed to create a united front in less than a week.

    But let’s not forget the following: yes, the left parties have a relative majority (or at least should given the last estimations), but the far right did gain a lot of seats in the elections compared to last time. So yeah it could have been worse, but it’s not exactly a comfortable situation either










  • Concerning your edit, not sure about other countries, but I can speak about the process in France.

    We get (normally) ballots with the programs in the mail before the elections, so we can also bring ballots from there. Then the way it works when voting is

    • there’s a table with ballots from all lists that provided them (so missing the ones we’re talking about here) and you can take any number of them
    • then you go isolate in a cabin where you put the ballot you want, or nothing, inside an envelope
    • finally your identity is verified, your vote is counted and you put your envelope in a transparent box

    So there’s not really a way to definitely know you’re voting for an unlisted candidate here.






  • I’m from France, there’s actually a law to force telemarketers to use certain phone ranges, which I’ve blocked.

    During some periods, I have a call blocked per day, sometimes more, then nothing for a while.

    I sometimes have the odd phone call that passes through, but unless I know I’m expecting a call, or it is from a number I know, I never pick up. It’s usually spam anyway
